2-1 GYRATORY CRUSHERS DATA

SECTION DATA
The condensed information on these pages
is only a guide in determining the size and
operating data of a Nordberg Primary
Gyratory Crusher for a particular
application. Crusher capacities in these
tables are given in short tons (2000 lbs ) per
hour and are based on average operating
conditions when handling a dry friable
material weighing 100 lbs./cu. ft. (crushed).
Factors which may affect capacity include
hardness, toughness, fracture pattern,
moisture content, size gradation of the feed
material and method of feeding.

For specific or special recommendations the

following information should be submitted
to Nordberg for analysis.

• Type or nature of material to be crushed.

• Information pertaining to the material to

be crushed: work index, compressive
strength, bulk density, moisture content
(Nordberg's Research and Mineral test
center has facilities for determining the
work index, if samples are available).

• Method of feeding: Direct dump, feeder Example:

scalping (Indicate capacity or rate of
42-70 with a 6" O.S.S. (150mm)
feeding unit).
A = 42" (1067mm)
• Size of largest rock in the feed. B = 70" (1778mm)
• Approximate or average screen analysis C = 6" (150mm)
